Position power, or the power that comes from one's job title or role, is often the power that new managers expect to be able to rely on. However, it is often the least useful form of power as it can create resentment, mistrust, and unwillingness to follow directions. Effective managers rely on other sources of power such as referent power (earned through respect and admiration from others) and reward power (the ability to offer incentives or rewards for desirable behavior). Punitive power (the ability to punish or discipline) should only be used as a last resort and in accordance with company policies and ethical standards.
